Form & Verdict
Won four of his first eight handicaps but he's struggled in his last two starts; had an excuse on heavy ground in the November Handicap at Doncaster but he was laboured again back on AW at Lingfield on his recent return; has some questions to answer and he's still 5lb higher than for last win.

Last five outings on AW, posting his most encouraging effort when second of 12 in a 2m Newcastle Good Friday handicap; nudged back up 2lb for that but he's still 3lb lower than when runner-up at Chester (2m, good to soft) last September; should go well.

Won this in 2024 and he's dropping down the weights; this 8yo has shown the odd sign of spark over the last 12 months but his AW exploits this winter indicate it's best to look elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
4yo who has really kicked on with his 1m4f wins in his last two starts, including a 4l success over C&D last month; 7lb higher on this big step back up in grade but that was a clear personal best last time and he's strongly respected.

Six wins from his 23 AW starts, the latest at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) in February; has continued in good form when fourth at Lingfield and Kempton on last two starts, but he may again be vulnerable today.

Form & Verdict
Bounced back with a creditable second at Chelmsford (1m5f, Polytrack) last Saturday but she has a very mixed record since her last win 11 months ago and this 8yo takes on several interesting rivals on this big step back up in grade; others preferred.

5 yo Colt

Form & Verdict
Won Class 2 events over 1m4f at Newmarket and Haydock last spring and he was a good fifth of 16 back at Newmarket (1m6f) in his final run last summer; now makes his AW debut after 241 days off but he has won when fresh in the past and needs watching in the market.

Won twice in a higher grade (1m4f) during opening half of 2022 and he's back on a good mark; however, asking a lot to win this after such a long period on the sidelines; has been gelded.

Form: 512-15 CD

Form & Verdict
Generally progressive 4yo who improved his AW record to 4-10 when finishing well to score at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in January; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he was disappointing back at Lingfield 16 days ago and has bit to prove again after that 9l defeat.

Form & Verdict
5yo who has had only four starts but she's won three of them including a comfortable success at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) last month; up 5lb but she beat a subsequent winner last time and this well-bred mare is open to more progress; big player.

Lightly raced 5yo who won three of her first four starts on the AW, the latest at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) in February; has been mostly quiet since, though, and this looks a tough task; stable also runs Malka.

Unexposed mare with a good record on AW, including a C&D win; wouldn't judge her too harshly on latest heavy defeat at Goodwood (Listed) and she still has time to do better in this sphere.
